 the middle of the sections, thin-walled 1- to 3-celled non- 

 glandular hairs occur.

Spot-bound hemicryptophyte of the semi-rosette type, 

 biennial to pluriennial hapaxanth, or — what is certainly 

 the most common — a pollacanth, with scantily-branched 

 main root, the longevity of which corresponds with that of 

 the individual. Should the species appear as a pollacanth, 

 innovation shoots are developed at the base of the flowering 

 shoot. 



The length of the first vegetative-stage varies from one 

 to (probably at most) two years. During the vegetative 

 stage a leaf-rosette is developed every summer and — towards 

 the end of the growth-period — bud-scales for the protection 

 of the young organs during the winter-rest; in the summer 

 in which the plant flowers, the shoot forms no rosette of 

 foliage-leaves. The shorter vegetative-stage (of one-year's 

 duration) appears especially to result in weaker individuals, 

 which probably often end their lives by fruit-setting in the 

 second year. 



This species differs very much in habit from the other 

 species described here, owing to the formation of numerous
